Summary

Albert W. Patrick III Elementary is a PK–5 school in Hampton, Virginia, serving 394 students in the Hampton City Public Schools district, where 92.4% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has undergone a remarkable turnaround, rising from a 1-star rating and a statewide rank of 812th in 2023–24 to a 3-star rating and a rank of 504th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools—its best showing in at least a decade. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped sharply from 14.2% to 6.8%, well below district (7.5%) and state (14.8%) averages.

Patrick's academic gains are broad-based. In 3rd grade, 81.63% of students were proficient in both reading and math, with reading scores surpassing nearby Barron Elementary (79.31%) and Samuel P. Langley Elementary (74.65%). Math proficiency was consistently strong across all grade levels—81.63% in 3rd, 80.85% in 4th, and 80% in 5th—with 5th-grade math jumping from just 53.45% two years earlier. The school also earns standout results with students from low-income families, ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide—especially notable given that more than 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The clearest area for improvement is 4th-grade Virginia Studies, where only 47.92% of students were proficient compared to 68.92% in the district and 70.52% statewide—a gap that has persisted for several years. Still, Patrick outperforms nearby schools with similar poverty levels, including Mary T. Christian Elementary, Captain John Smith Elementary, Jane H. Bryan Elementary, and Mary S. Peake Elementary in most subjects. Families weighing school choices in this area should consider Patrick seriously: its 3rd-grade reading scores are the strongest in the immediate area, and its upward trajectory suggests it may continue closing the gap with the district's top-rated elementary schools.
